#### 4.6.6 List available keys

To list the keys in the internal database or using an external key provider, the command:

      LISTKEYS  pattern

is used. To allow multiple patterns (which are ORed during the search) quoting is required: Spaces are to be translated into "+" or into "%20"; in turn this requires that the usual escape quoting rules are done.

      LISTSECRETKEYS pattern

Lists only the keys where a secret key is available.

The list commands commands are affected by the option

      OPTION list-mode=mode

where mode may be:

`0`

  Use default (which is usually the same as 1).

`1`

  List only the internal keys.

`2`

  List only the external keys.

`3`

  List internal and external keys.

Note that options are valid for the entire session.
